Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (The ProBoard)

IFSI offers ProBoard certificates for all IFSI courses that are accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.
The certificates are nationally recognized and allow for standardization of responder training across the country; simply put, the ProBoard is
the fire fighting equivalent of the National Registry for EMTs and Paramedics.

For these various courses, the ProBoard Seal and number will be on the downloadable IFSI certificate of completion when it becomes available following the class -
no additional forms or payment is necessary. IFSI is paying the certificate fee on the student's behalf.

At this time IFSI is not offering challenge exams, to receive a ProBoard certificate one must complete the corresponding IFSI course.
